Nikita: Final Season Debut Date Announced

The final mission begins next month.

For my fellow Nikita fans wondering when you'll get to see the show's final season, we now have our answer. The CW have announced that the excellent action series will return for Season 4 on Friday, November 22nd at 9pm ET/PT. The six-episode season will air over six consecutive weeks.

That would mean the Nikita series finale will air on December 27th. And no, these are not dates that a network would choose for a high profile show, but I don't think anyone imagines a sudden influx of viewers was coming for Season 4 - though I certainly hope many people discover this show in the years to come. In the meantime, I remain very happy that we are at least getting a true finale, rather than the show ending mid-storyline via cancellation. (Though humorously, the final two episodes of the show are called "Bubble" and "Canceled.")

The CW's official description for the season reads: "Framed for assassinating the President at the end of last season, Nikita (Maggie Q) finds herself at the beginning of season four alone and on the run, hunted as the most wanted woman in the world. But when she follows up a lead that could clear her name, Nikita unexpectedly finds herself reunited with her old team. Forced to work together again, Nikita and her allies have to get past their emotional wounds in order to take down their nemesis, Amanda (Melinda Clarke). In the process, they discover that the plot to frame Nikita is actually part of a much larger conspiracy, one that could lead to global catastrophe."
